Write off the bat I'm looking at that and thinking of something else. I don't really want chinese I want Korean.

Is there some kind of connection or interelation? I really want vintage Korean (I'm 100% Korean,).

I don't know, that's what I put in Google. I would ask someone like your parents or someone who would actually know. You don't want to find something, get it tattooed and find out that it means something embarassing or entirely different :)

Ok, here's mine. Been growing over the last few months. It's only three tattoos in total. Actually, 3 and a 1/2..you can see the unfinished one. Haven't had them updated in a while due to some silly financial decisions as of late though....

How'd the front of your bicep feel? i'm adding a large addition to mine that will cover basically my whole bicep and go onto the inside of my arm, which i've hurt sucks pain wise.

Just stopping in to show you the newest addition to my body. Tell me what you think.

The way I see it is they are easy to conceal, they are tasteful, no text, and the only way I'm going to willing stop drumming is if I lose both of my arms...which would get rid of the tattoos anyways...so I guess im covered.

No offence but I'm not a huge fan, something classy would have been nice, to me it seems like you said "Hey I play drums put some big ass full sized sticks on me!" without any thought behind it. But who am I to tell you what to do, your the one that has to live with it.

i appreciate the passion but it's not something i would want for my own tattoo. but then again, as a few people have already said my opinion doesn't mean jack. all in all i think it's awesome that you want to represent your art permanently on your body, i just might have done it slightly differently.

Its cool to see that as its an idea I've toyed with but not gone ahead with.

My prefered place to have sticks tattoed would be on my forearms but that potentially causes problems at work and stuff. Maybe lower legs would be better.

I've thought about making the design a bit more elaborate, like a bunch of sticks twisted around each other a bit or a bunch made to look like the trunk of a tree somehow with small twigs and moss and imperfections and stuff like that. Hopefully those arent too pretentious.

Pretty cool, I would have 5b's or 3a's. I miss having the money to get new piercings and tattoos all the time. Well the piercings didn't cost much, I was a piericer for years so I still have all the stuff.

This tattoo has been a vision of mine for the past 11 years. I have always wanted to capture my love for drumming and music in the form of a tattoo. For years I went back and forth with the idea of using my own hands and or drums in the portrait. Then after reading Neil Pearts wife Carrie Nuttall's portrait book that captures Neil in many beautiful photographs I found the perfect picture. I have a quote that I created and have used on the name of one of my personal drumming albums: "Rhythm In The Hands Of Few". I thought that it would also be a perfect description for this portrait tattoo which includes Neil Pearts hands. I would like to thank Neil Peart for all the years of inspiration he has given to me. Someday, Neil, if you are ever near my Howland, Ohio home, we will have to take a motorcycle ride together! I would also like to thank Carrie Nuttall for the great portrait art she has created. Thanks for looking.

Thank you all for the kind words. The tattoo is located on my left outward facing thigh. I wanted to keep it high enough to still be able to wear golf shorts and not have it show. Again, thank you for looking.

Here is the treble clef on the outside of my left leg. I always wanted a tattoo, but could never decide what. But i thought seeing as music is the main thing in my life, this would be appropriate. I know other people have them and thats cool, im happy with mine :)

The tats all look great. I don't have any pics of mine yet, But I'll get some posted. I have 12 altogether. Ranging from Native american, to my daughters name and a few faith oriented tat's. Awesome looking artwork.

I was actually going to start a thread to see who had what for ink, glad I did a search first.
